Intermediate
After this tutorial, hopefully you will be able to do a simple linear analysis using FEM (Finite Element Method). The steps are straight forward and the part used is available in my profile (foot peg - ATV). The idea behind this is seeing how it reacts to a Pressure of 125 KPa. All the units in this tutorials are in the IS (International System) but i will put the conversions Metric-Imperial. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS SUCH AS WHERE ARE THE COMMANDS LOCATED DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. Pedro José Silva Campos
